Anadolu Agency · February 2026

• reports Israeli actions and statements with factual distance
• includes condemnations and criticisms of Israel from other actors
• highlights Israeli military preparations and aggressive rhetoric
• frames Netanyahu's claims as unverified or self-serving

The outlet is Anadolu Agency, a Turkish state news agency, and Turkey has been critical of Israeli policies. The coverage is largely factual but selects headlines that emphasize Israeli military actions, regional condemnations, and Netanyahu's controversial statements, giving a skeptical tone toward Israel. However, the outlet does not use overtly hostile language like 'regime' or 'brutal' consistently, and some headlines are neutral reports of events. The stance is slightly negative due to the framing of Israel as an actor facing international criticism and engaging in provocative actions.

• Quotes Trump's claims with distancing verbs like 'says', 'calls', 'demands'
• Highlights controversial or aggressive actions (tariffs, deportation demands, election fraud claims)
• Reports negative consequences of Trump's policies (market drops, tariff effects)
• Includes headlines that implicitly question Trump's credibility or motives

The outlet often reports Trump's statements neutrally, but the selection emphasizes contentious and divisive actions, and the use of verbs like 'calls' and 'demands' introduces distance.
